The Imperial City and Lag Outs

mrskinskull

I have a question for those of you playing the add on right now.

If you lag out in PvP and are left standing there as often happens during a PvP lag out, can your stones be stolen?

I have seen many friends lag out of cyrodill while their player remains for a while standing still even if the player is disconnected.

The player then reconnects to find himself slain to enemy players or NPCs.

Is there a mechanic in place to stop you from being robbed because of an issue with the servers at zos' end?

This is probably a dumb concern but I was kind of curious.


Thanks.

I just came out of IC,and had no lag.But then,I didnt see a single person in the prison,or heading out of the tower.Not a single one,other than the fifteen NPCs who killed me three times in 5 minutes.

How populated can it get? Are they testing it in the kind of conditions actual PvP endures?

When a zerg ball swarms through the district will I lag out and forfeit my stones?

yes, pretty much. it's a *** joke. the same zergs that show up and magically lag everything to *** are still doing it in IC. Personally, I'm *** done with it. It's just not fun anymore.

So that thing that always happens in PvP, happened in the new PvP and it still lags everyone out?

Console zerg balls aren't nearly as large because we don't have text chat to gather the whole server in one spot.

There's a thread begging to get text added to the imperia city and I really don't think they know what they're asking for.

Ic on console may have a chance of running smoothly, the mini zergs are unfair but at least they don't lag me out half as much.

And now that there's a penalty to lag outs, smart guilds may just roll around lagging all enemies into meat puppets ripe for the harvest.

I'm sure zos will address it though.

Best of luck.

Oh yeah, it's the same as when your game crashes. You long back on to a death recap with 80% of your stones taken.

But the zergs organized by text chat on PC aren't big enough to do this on a regular basis though, right?

I can handle occasionally.

Were you deep in enemy territory?

Being an east Londoner, I find that phrase ridiculously amusing.
